What does 49 CFR 40.311 (What are the requirements concerning SAP reports?) require?

Generated guidance. Confirm the source and its applicability before you act. How we check sources.

As a motor-carrier owner, you must follow these requirements regarding Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) reports under 49 CFR 40.311:

* Direct Receipt: You must ensure that you receive SAP written reports directly from the SAP who performed the evaluation. No third party or entity is allowed to change the SAP's report in any way. However, the SAP may send the document simultaneously to you and a C/TPA.

* Record Retention: You must keep the written reports received from SAPs for 5 years from the date you received them.

Additionally, 49 CFR 40.311 outlines what the SAP must include in their written reports (such as using their own letterhead, signing and dating the report, and including employee details, violation reasons, and treatment or follow-up determinations).
